§ 01.00Roofing · TX hail belt + OH freeze-thaw
Class 4 + PC068 in the I-35 hail corridor. Ice-and-water shield past the warm-wall line in Ohio. 25-year workmanship warranty in writing. We won't sell a reroof when a flashing repair holds.
Dallas County alone produced $102M in expected hail losses last year. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles — the kind that pass a 2-inch steel ball at 90 mph — earn 10–35% off the wind-and-hail portion of your insurance premium in Texas. The PC068 form (a one-page endorsement we hand off to your carrier at install) is what unlocks it. The discount typically pays back the upgrade in 4–6 years.
Ohio code mandates ice-and-water shield (a sticky rubber membrane under the shingles) from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the warm wall — the line on your roof above where heated rooms end. Most cold-climate failures we see are skipped membrane, blocked soffit vents, or unsealed bath fans pumping warm humid air into the attic.
Adjusters often walk only the front and street-facing sides; back and side hits get missed. We document each elevation with drone photography and chalk-circled test squares — and write the scope to capture each storm-related line item, not just the shingles.
A roof is an assembly, not a product. Pick the layer or the trigger that matches your problem. Each chip below opens the spec sheet for that child page.
The workhorse roof. Owens Corning, GAF, Malarkey, TAMKO installed to manufacturer spec.
Hail-rated shingles that earn 10–35% off the wind/hail premium in Texas. Pays back in 4–6 years.
Standing seam and stone-coated steel — 50-year roofs that survive what shingles can’t.
TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen. Cover-board on every Texas job, machine-welded seams probed every 10 ft.
Tear-off, deck inspection, dry-in same day. Never an exposed deck overnight, even on weather days.
Find the leak first. Most "roof leaks" are flashing, ventilation, or a $300 pipe-boot fix — not a reroof.
47-point drone-and-attic walkthrough with thermal imaging. The report comes home with you regardless.
Documented damage on every elevation, written for the carrier in their own software and price list.
Targeted fix on the failed component — flashing, valley, ridge, sealant. Honest answer when a reroof isn’t needed.
Same house, three roofing systems. Architectural asphalt is the workhorse default. Class 4 impact-resistant earns the Texas insurance discount. Stone-coated steel wins on a 25-year ownership window. Here's what each one buys you.
Free 47-point inspection. Drone each elevation, attic with a moisture meter, itemized scope back in 24–48 hours. No pitch, no obligation.
The hub orients across the 12 roofing services we offer. Most calls start the same five ways. Pick the one that matches what's happening at your house.
"A storm just came through."
Hail, wind, hurricane, or freeze — the call where the clock matters.
Same-day tarp on emergency calls. Drone-documented every elevation. Carrier-ready scope back in 24–48 hours. We meet your adjuster on the roof, not in the driveway.
"My roof is older and I think I need a new one."
Age-driven replacement — pick the system, scope the deck, price it once.
Tear-off (never overlay) so the deck gets eyes on it. Manufacturer-spec underlayment + ice-and-water shield + balanced ventilation on every job. 25-year workmanship warranty.
"I just want a roof that earns the insurance discount."
Spec-driven — the math of Class 4, PC068, and the long roof.
Class 4 with the PC068 endorsement form handed to your carrier at install. 10–35% off Coverage A wind/hail in Texas. Discount typically pays for the upgrade in 4–6 years.
"I have a building with a flat roof."
Commercial work — TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen.
Cover-board on every Texas job — the single biggest hail-survival upgrade most quotes leave out. Machine-welded seams probe-tested every 10 LF. Phased install on occupied buildings.
"Something is leaking — but I don’t know where."
Diagnostic-first — the fix is rarely the whole roof.
Visual + attic + moisture-meter + thermal where it helps. Honest answer when the fix is $300, not $20,000. We document the actual source — flashing, ventilation, window seal, rotted trim — before recommending a tear-off.
Bring us the line items and we'll tell you what's missing — synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield depth, deck-replacement allowance, ventilation rebuild. Honest answer, no obligation to switch.
We would rather front-load the limitations than have you find them out later. Each one of these comes up on the inspection visit. We say them. We do not bury them.
Texas HB 1183 prohibits a roofing contractor from acting as a public adjuster on a property they are roofing — and we follow that rule. What we do: document the damage with drone + chalk squares, write the scope, meet your adjuster on the roof, request supplements before sign-off. 15+ years of knowing how each major carrier writes a scope is on your side at the table.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles dramatically reduce hail damage but do not eliminate it. The UL 2218 test uses a 2-inch steel ball at 90 mph; real hail can be larger and faster. We will tell you honestly when an upgrade pencils and when it does not.
Most Texas wind/hail deductibles are now 1–2% of dwelling value ($3K–$10K). We do not waive, rebate, or absorb your deductible — in Texas it is illegal, in Ohio it is non-standard. Any company that offers to do so is a red flag.
Cosmetic hail dents on stone-coated steel and standing-seam metal are not considered functional damage by manufacturers. The watertight panel stays sealed as long as it has not fractured. After a major storm, at most a few panels need swapping.
Filing an insurance claim can affect your premium at renewal. That is a question for your carrier, not for us. We can document damage and write scope; we cannot tell you whether to file.
Most homeowners do not. The inspection answers it. We walk each elevation, score the deck and ventilation, look at your insurance posture (Class 4 eligibility, hail history, deductible), and tell you which of the twelve fits your house and your situation. The atlas above lets you skim ahead. The inspection turns "system A vs system B" into a written recommendation.
